Past “Peepshow” at Planet Hollywood stars Holly Madison and Coco Austin are duking it out over competing burlesque and push-the-envelope sexy shows.

Reality TV star Coco (“Ice Loves Coco”) says that her new dance ensemble is a naughty burlesque show with seven vivacious dancers she’s named “Coco & the Vanity Vixens.”

She opens in New York on May 12 and says she’s aiming for a Las Vegas home to return to the Strip.

Holly says her new “1923 Bourbon & Burlesque club soft opening April 11 with an April 17 grand opening at Mandalay Bay will be true burlesque from that era:

“We look forward to introducing Las Vegas to glamorous burlesque set inside an intimate 1920s-style speakeasy.” Singer Skye Dee Miles from the Tropicana will handle vocals with a four-piece band playing for the burlesque dancers.

SWAPPING LIVES: No less than three couples with close ties to Las Vegas will be featured in the new Season 3 debut of “Celebrity Wife Swap” starting April 15.

In the premiere episode, two Hollywood dynasties join for the first time when the partners of music legend Jermaine Jackson and actor Daniel Baldwin swap very contradictory lives for one week. (The Jacksons’ run in “Rocktellz & Cocktails” at Planet Hollywood ends Sunday.)

In the season debut, Daniel’s former girlfriend, Isabella Hofmann, lives in the Hollywood Hills with their autistic son Atticus, 17. After struggling for a decade with drug addiction, Daniel is now sober and working on rebuilding his relationship with Isabella and Atticus.

In Calabasas, Calif., Jermaine and his wife, Halima, live a privileged life with their prized show dog, Fiji. These families may be considered Hollywood celebrities, but that is where their similarities end.

When Isabella arrives at the Jackson home, the glitz and glamour, as well as the racks of clothing, endless pairs of shoes and infinite bottles of perfume, blow her away. Meanwhile, Halima experiences a surprise of her own when she sees her swap home’s modest size compared to her own grand estate.

In the end, one side of the swap is left in an awkward and uncomfortable situation when the celebrity husband holds firm and resists any change. Details of the two other Las Vegas couples will be revealed when filming and editing is completed.

CONGRATULATIONS: For now — until the proposed 625-foot New York Ferris wheel is built — the new High Roller observation wheel that opened today at the Linq between the Flamingo and Quad is the tallest observation wheel in the world at 550 feet, and contributing photographer Tom Donoghue took a Maverick Helicopter flight around the structure before the first rides. Our esteemed A&E Senior Editor Don Chareunsywas along for the journey this morning.

Eight 1,256-hp motors turn the 28 cabins every 30 minutes around the 7.2 million-pound wheel. Forty passengers can joyride in the cabins that are kept at a constant 76 degrees. There’s 112 cables strung inside the wheel so that it can sustain such windy conditions as today’s 46 mph gusts.

Congratulations to everybody at Caesars Entertainment and the Linq (operated by the Grove management team from Los Angeles) on the stunning achievement completed right on time, making it the brightest, newest and best Las Vegas tourist attraction.

OLIVIA’S INVITES: On Tuesday, Olivia Newton-John drives in from California ready to meet the media on Wednesday as her band starts stage rehearsals of her new show at the Flamingo. The princess of “Physical” starts her rehearsals Thursday.

They’ve run through the show in Hollywood studios ahead of moving here. “Summer Nights” opens next Tuesday, April 8, with a gala red-carpet premiere April 11. I can confirm that an invitation has been sent to her “Grease” co-star John Travolta to attend. I was told that advance ticket sales “are ridiculously great.”

“Cake Boss” star Buddy Valastro opens his first Carlo’s Bakery west of the Mississippi at Palazzo.

Mike Pace and Landry headline at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club through Sunday.

SKAM celebrates its 10th anniversary at Marquee in the Cosmopolitan with Samantha Ronson, Eric D-Lux and Vice all spinning the wheels of steel.

Magician Murray Sawchuck returns to the Laugh Factory at the Tropicana for his spring and summer run. Murray filmed three new TV shows during his 12-week hiatus. Audience members who bring an Easter basket of goodies for the E Bunny charity for underprivileged children get in for free today.

The new LGBT nightlife experience Provocouture opens at Savile Row at LAX in the Luxor. The gay and gay-friendly parties hosted by J.Son of NakedBoyNews.com are scheduled for Monday nights April 28 and May 26, so far.

Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino

Catering to the young and modern crowd, Planet Hollywood is a one-stop shop for entertainment with its massive shopping mall, slew of restaurants, spacious casino and clubs.

The ambiance of the casino is retro-chic meets high-tech with black granite floors throughout and colorful LED lights throughout the space. The theme carries into the 100,000 square-foot casino with 250 flat screens topping off slot machines. The casino is also home to 87 tables, a sports book and a poker room.

There's also the Miracle Mile Shops, one Vegas' largest malls, with 140 stores including BCBG Max Azaria, bebe, Urban Outfitters and The Discovery Channel Store.

Following an afternoon of shopping, guests can satisfy their appetites at one of the gourmet restaurants in Planet Hollywood, like the non-traditional approach to steakhouses at Strip House or check out the exotic Far East motif at KOI restaurant and lounge. And if guests are still looking for more, they can spend the after hours at Privé, Triq or Krave nightclubs.

Perhaps one of the resorts biggest attractions came in March with the addition of "Peepshow." The naughty twist on the story of Little Bo Peep is modern-day spin on the run-of-the-mill Vegas topless review. The "Peepshow" stage has seen visiting celebs like Scary Spice Mel B, "Dancing with the Stars" Kelly Monaco and Playboy's Holly Madison.
